Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and me.

kenny used to be so good, but he's hit an age where my voice does'nt even register. I had a 30 foot nylon training lead and keep him on that when walking on beach/mountain. I cant risk it. At the beach this weekend i had to give an educational talk to a strange woman who thinks all bull breeds are killers. She was very rude, kenny was on his lead and her dog was off, came running over to kenny, owner fast on his heel, screaming. I tryed to explain about staffys but no, she didnt want to know. Yes, i know that some staffys dont like other dogs, but isnt that true of other breeds too.

I have the opposite problem, Skye doesn't like the lead and wont walk with it on unless we are on the way home, she comes when called, doesn't run off, but i always train without lead first and socialise with other dogs at a very early age . I suggest long training lead.

Both mine go on lead when we see other dogs as Skye gets a bit over enthusiastic and buster is nervous around dogs both mine are whistle trained so will come as soon as I blow the whistle.

Hi and welcome from us and Suki. You could always use a long lead

hi & welcome to the forum

hello and welcome to the forum from me and billy

Hi and welcome

welcome

hi and welcome..
yes a long lead might be the answer for now and lots of training in recall...it is only natural that dogs run up to other dogs as they are normally such social creatures, but as you noticed, not everyone likes strange dogs running up to them and their dogs !

Hello and welcome aboard

Hello and welcome from myself the wife and marley

Sorry Kayne I completely ignored your original question please forgive me.

Try keeping your dog on a lead when approaching other dogs and ask their owners if OK to say hello to each other. This should hopefully avoid any unpleasant reactions.
